Quick story...co-worker friend of mine worked on a Navy PB4Y here at Ft. Huachuca's Libby Army Airfield in the early 50's, then again on the same plane in its role as a US Forest Service slurry bomber nearly 40 years later.

Here is an nice ramp shot of a Hawkins and Powers PB4Y, I think. Good chance that this could be that plane, or not. I do have several other PB4Ys in fire attack livery.
